A Curtin University study found unintended emissions from Starlink satellites contaminating radio astronomy bands used by SKA-Low, with some leakage far stronger than the faint cosmic signals researchers aim to detect. The emissions were observed across protected frequency ranges, raising concerns that current ITU rules do not adequately cover hardware leakage from satellites.
